You do not need bindings for lou_getTable. It is used by the liblouis
tools and by liblouisxml. lou_readCharFromFile is something I added in
an exuberant moment.  You can ignore it for now. It might be used by
liblouisxml in the future.

You can send your work to the list as attachments. We use Subversion, as 
you probably know. Later we might set up a Java branch like the Python 
branch.
